I can't see how you can be liable as you are not your wife and you have not signed up to anything.
Have you seen the T&Cs of the loan or anything that your wife signed to help him? It would be good to check just to see what it says happens in these circumstances. Is it possible that your wife had listed account details from which the money might be paid? If that was the case then I would suggest that they need to know that she has died and therefore they no longer can use that account.
Is you step son likely to default? Because he's upset or because he thinks he can get away with it??
